DARPA proved the impossible.
Hours later, someone tried to shut the project down.
Former Tier 1 operator Grayson Maddox now leads a classified physics project at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
His team has made a landmark discovery: tunneling matter beyond the known boundaries of physics.
They call it RIFT.
It's a discovery on par with the splitting of the atom: a gateway to vast resources and consequences no one fully understands. Like fission, this breakthrough could reshape civilization-or destroy it.
Then the sabotage begins.
A mysterious outage cripples his lab. An intruder targets his assistant. A bomb detonates outside a DARPA briefing he just left. Someone knows what Maddox has unlocked-and is moving with lethal precision to stop it.
On the run, Maddox turns to former teammates from the Unit. But even CIA safe houses aren't secure. There's a leak, and two rival factions are closing in: one wants RIFT, the other wants it erased-and Maddox along with it.
To stay alive, Maddox must become the operator he thought he'd left behind.
Because if RIFT falls into the wrong hands, the next battlefield won't be a country.
It will be reality itself.
"A breathless tech thriller ... Our verdict: Get it." - Kirkus Reviews
Praised by U.S. Army Special Forces and former Army Ranger Regiment operators for its authenticity and pacing.
